Episodes
It Was Never About Us with Alex Gardner
What happens when someone else’s addiction changes your life? Greg sits down with longtime Yarnslinger Alex Gardner to share personal stories about loving people struggling with addiction—and the confusion, pain, and hard-won understanding that followed. How do you tell your own truth while protecting the person whose story intersects with yours? It’s a candid conversation filled with honesty, compassion, and a few laughs—and the difficult realization that, although the impact was deeply personal, It Was Never About Us.
Theme: Cry Me a Story with Bill Fellenberg & Teresa Tulipano
Go behind the scenes of Yarnslingers as Greg sits down with Bill Fellenberg & Teresa Tulipano to talk about where every Yarnslingers story begins: the theme. How does one word unlock a story worth telling? And why do so many first-time Yarnslingers unexpectedly find themselves in tears? It’s a candid conversation about storytelling, vulnerability, connection—and what happens when we finally say the things we didn’t know we needed to say.
